MacBook is a brand of Macintosh notebook computers created by Apple. It was first introduced in 2006, replacing the iBook. MacBook is aimed at the consumer and education markets.

A Mac is designed to give you the best computer experience possible. Because Apple makes both the hardware and the software, everything just works. So whether you’re accessing a Wi-Fi network, organizing your photos by faces, or video chatting, everything is surprisingly simple.
